Just as the title specifies, if you had/have a custom made frame post it up, include the builder who made it and specifications of the frame and why you chose what you chose if you like.
If this thread has been made up already apologies in advance, plus I'm not sure if this is the correct place to start this thread, seemed the most logical, if it needs moving please let me know.
I'll start first.

I'm not sure but I can't imagine it being good, notice no venting holes, dude I got the frame made up from completely fucked it.

Cellmember, so many questions. Why does one frame have zero seat tube and the other have way too much? Why does the second frame have both chainstay and seatstay mounts? Did the tensioners on the Solid frame actually work?
-
Are you still riding either of those frames?

Cellmember, so many questions. Why does one frame have zero seat tube and the other have way too much? Why does the second frame have both chainstay and seatstay mounts? Did the tensioners on the Solid frame actually work?
Well the solid frame was about the time when wedge posts started to come out basically I really liked the look and the ease of this design so I had one made up just for that.
The Embassy frame has both SS and CS mounts because I do like to have the option of having both, I get the urge to either go chain stay mounts for a while and seat stay for a while basically that's all it is really I just wanted the option to use either one when I felt like it and as for the seat post that's usually the amount of seat post I have out of the frame as on the Solid I usually had my seat slammed also I still like the function of a wedge and the aesthetics of it, if I ever decided to use a normal seat mast with a clamp for what ever reason I have plenty of room to modify the frame to do so.
The tensioners on the Solid were a bit of a problem as I had to remove them to actually use my hub, the would rub on the tensioners, luckily it wasn't hard to do, if they were a little smaller in shape they would have worked perfectly, was a bit of a bummer but not a huge inconvenience.
Cheers

No the Solid I sold, I still kick myself for it and the Embassy I still have which is resting in my spare room.

you need to put some closeups of the flame gussets

Ha, it was the production Limit ones that had the flames, mine was more of a rounded pointy shape.

FBM #125 from when Spooky Dave was still working there.

21 3/8 tt (rides just over 21 because of the laid back post), 75 regular ht, 69 st, 14" cs 11 5/8" Mid bb, 10mm drops, 9.25" SOH. Chainstay plates. .049" on the chain and seat stays. Chain stays taper from 7/8 to 5/8 and seat stays taper from 3/4 to 5/8. I think it is 1 3/8 x .042"ish for the front end, it is straight gauge supertherm from what I understand.
Custom Solid

2005 21.25 Killing Machine with mid BB and integrated headset. Most of the specs were the same as the Killing Machine but it has a 71 Seat tube angle and no hole in the seat tube for cable routing. I ordered dropouts that met flush with the peg but were regular length. I think the back end is around 14" maybe 13.75".

Basically the same geo as my frame now but with a taller stand over.

Leon, that "barcode" looks sick, but does your stem clear the gusset?

I know 75 started to come about but not 76 maybe for flatland but that's about it, so I'd probably be surprised.

The Kink Fiend had a 79 degree head tube but that was un intentional. Just makes Dave Young even more of a machine.
-
A few frames have done that. Once upon a time you didn't know the head angle anyway. I remember seeing 76° once in a specs comparison table in BMX Plus! and not even knowing wtf it meant

That is sweet, specs are solid. I've always liked lower SO's and still do, so this is definitely a sweet looking frame.

I hope to be able to add my custom fbm one day. Last I saw it had been welded so I guess it's between there and the powder coaters.
Wish I hadn't bent my custom standard bars

Bikes with 48's look a little strange now. This bike might be one of my favorites on bikeguide. It's probably a very close second to Killseth's bike.

Nice. Interesting brake mount config. Did it have the removable seat stay mounts first then have the welded chain stay mounts put on later? Or were they both put on from the beginning? Interesting?

We never discussed brakes til after it was done. I didn't bitch about it, just told him to weld some mounts and 2 guides.

Only picture I can find of my old solid. I bought it off lobbster on here ages ago. It had a 20.25 toptube and a 13" backend, it lasted 4 years of heavy use between a friend and I but unfortunately snapped at the headtube in the end.

Haha. When I got my Barcode everyone round here told me it was gross. Now those same people are getting them. It shouldn't really bother me but I don't want to be associated with those guys.

get a standard trailboss with the proper gusset and v brake mounts then shit on their faces
-
I like the idea of V-brake mounts. I could get a Paul brake and it would confuse the shit out of everyone.

Here are two frame and forks I made. The one in the back was just before all the brake stuff was put on but, both are identical. One is for me and the other is for someone.. they didn't get it yet so I don't want to whore them to hard.
